Leverkusen are continuing to perform miracles in this dream season with Xabi Alonso.  Smiley
I can't even believe it how alonso was recording a new record. Leverkusen is still unbeaten in almost all of competitions. Amazing and impressive performance from leverkusen this season.




It says 41 matches but it must have become 42 as of the West Ham victory. This is just magnificent! It is a big joy to watch every single match Leverkusen play now. They just don't know the meaning of losing. Xabi Alonso is aiming the maximum level ball control and pressuring their opponent as much as possible. This system has worked very smoothly until this point as they will probably announce their first ever Bundesliga trophy today.  Smiley
I can't still believe if I hadn't seen Leverkusen play defensively against such a strong team, xabi's ball has been successfully bring back leverkusen to the bundesliga trophy after 120 years of waiting. This is an incredible performance from Xabi Alonso and it's also proving that if club needs only a good coach to help club win the title. Leverkusen recruited him at a low cost, but he was able to deliver a trophy even more than it as long as leverkusen will able to win europa laegue as well. Xabi and leverkusen go to the UCL next season..
Leverkusen has secured the Bundesliga, setting a new record for a team to win the league without losing a single match and it's break bayern's domination for a decade.


As for the Europa League trophy, why not?  Grin  They look like nobody can stop them.
True. It may be getting even more easier if atalanta will sent off liverpool from europa league.

Yes, that is something Leverkusen deserves if they succeed in becoming champions in the European League this season. They performed extraordinary, even though there were several matches where it looked like they were not very optimal, they were able to recover quickly. Leverkusen have all the capital that allows them to win a title and we know they will never experience defeat.
They have just confirmed and locked the Bundesliga title after destroying Bremen. Their success will allow them to focus more on the European League. Xabi Alonso must have prepared everything so that they can be successful in the European League this season.
Xabi really made this team strong, they managed to break the dominance that Bayern Munich had for years.

Currently, Xabi Alonso is only focused on the Europa League and DFB Pokal to complete the trophies they will collect apart from the Bundesliga. Xabi's mission was reduced by one after they broke Bayern Munich's dominance so far. You could say, Xabi Alonso has succeeded in bringing Bayer Leverkusen to its best level. Moreover, Leverkusen is only one step away from reaching the semifinals of the Europa League. they only need to hold West Ham to a draw, but it seems that Xabi Alonso's playing characteristics are of the offensive type. So, even though in the second leg we played as the away team. Leverkusen will not let the match end in a draw. yeah, as you said, Leverkusen has very possible capital. especially, if in the end Liverpool is eliminated in the quarter-finals. Thus, it could be said that Leverkusen is the toughest opponent for the teams that meet in the next round. Leverkusen's chance of winning the Europa League trophy is quite big.

Leverkusen became the new hope of some people after they established themselves as winners in their domestic league the bundes league, and are now in the quarterfinals, beating West Ham United in leg 1 with a 2-0 result. And we just have to wait for the second leg and I'm pretty sure Leverkusen can win the match against West Ham in the second leg even though it's on West Ham United's home turf, of course people who think that this is their luck are too naive with the efforts made by Xabi Alonso and also the Bayern leverkusen squad, they find it difficult to admit that Xabi really has the capability as a coach today who can bring hope, yes if you can win three championships it can be said to be a treble even if not with the Champion.

Strangely Liverpool are getting praised the worse, we see that Liverpool rise but they themselves break that hope for us, I also did not expect Liverpool to lose to Atalanta, Klopp seems to be losing a lot of trophies this season after failing in the English premier league because of losing to Crystal Palace and losing also in the Europa League by Atalanta, I thought before Klopp's departure would give a present to Liverpool as a winner in one of the leagues to save his last trophy but in fact it was just a hope.

Nothing is changing in the EL, I thought everything would be the other way around, that Liverpool would beat Atalanta without problems, and Bayer would have a hard time with West Ham, but this tournament still remains the most unpredictable. If Liverpool had lost with a difference of one goal, they would have had a chance in the return match, but 3 goals is too many, although I still believe that Liverpool is stronger than Atalanta, but beating them away with a difference of three goals is very doubtful.

In the Europa League, their only rival seemed to be liverpool, which is also almost eliminated. There they are also the favourites for the cup. And in the Europa League it's much easier for them. They'll focus there with their minds at ease after Bundesliga title. Even if they don't win the Europa League, they have a perfect championship. They made such a good squad... to rest and change the offence and midfield, to stay at the same tempo and be undefeated champions is a very high level thing. There are no bad footballers, only uncooked footballers in the hands of a good manager. Xhaka was criticised and wanted to be sent off because his performance was very bad at Arsenal. Here he contributed a lot to bundesliga title and he will probably be very effective winning the Europa League title.
If Liverpool are eliminated by Atalanta then Leverkusen will be the favorite team to win the Europa League this season, no one has been able to stop Xabi fleet so far. The competition for the trophy in the Bundesliga has been completed perfectly, now Xabi will be a little more relaxed and just needs to keep his unbeaten record safe.

Xabi next focus is the Europa League, West Ham needs a miracle to turn things around, Leverkusen has a 2 goal advantage at the moment. Xabi has the freedom to rest his key players for domestic competitions, and he will field his best squad in Europa League matches. Meanwhile, for other competitions such as the DFB Pokal, Leverkusen will not be too worried because they will face relatively easy opponents.

Regarding Xhaka, he is the brains of Leverkusen game this season, all of Xabi words and instructions are converted well by him on the pitch. His vital role in midfield made Leverkusen game more effective, Xabi succeeded in providing the best role to unleash Xhaka potential. Arsenal failed to see the maturity possessed by Xhaka, a very impressive first season at Leverkusen.

If Leverkusen eventually gets to win the Europa league this season i would not see it as them been lucky because they have proven to be deserving of it and they are Also appearing like they may get to win a trio this season because they are already t the top of the bundesliga with the hop of winning it and same applies to the DF polka in the Germany too of which if they finally gets the Europa then it's a trio.

Liverpool who has been the favorite for most people to win the Europa has gradually get people to loose hope I'm them after they lost to Atlanta because we would have taught they will be able to win Atlanta and make sure they are winning the trophy this season but then sadly they are now giving Atlanta the chances to knocke them out of the league and have a chance to win the trophy but then lets hope they will win.

Bayern Leverkusen crowning a super season, and winning the Bundesliga with a 4-0 game against Werder Bremen, now they can fully focus on the Europa League and also saves some players in the Bundesliga game.

No one can imagine this amazing season for Leverkusen at the start of the season. The europa League can be the cherry on top of a magnificent season for the club.
Currently Leverkusen has secured the Bindesliga trophy in their hands, besides that it is only one step away for Alonso to also win the DFB Pokal trophy because they are now in the final, of course it will complement Alonso's achievements if this season Leverkusen is also able to win the Europa League trophy and make their achievements this season quite perfect by winning the treble winner,  For now, Leverkusen certainly has a great chance to win the Europa League after previously Liverpool, who were also favorites, began to be quite doubtful to rise in the second leg later against Atlanta.
 
Liverpool's defeat to Atlanta certainly made many people start to doubt Liverpool can win the Europa League this season and certainly if Liverpool are eliminated from the Europa League will certainly make Leverkusen favorites to reach the final, besides that maybe there will only be Milan who can be a strong opponent for Leverkusen, and even that happens if Milan is able to turn things around in the second leg later after previously they lost to Roma with a score of 1-0.

xabi alonso has succeeded in winning the current Bundesliga title with Leverkusen and if they also succeed in winning the European League title this season it will be even better because the DFB Cup also seems to have no difficulty for Leverkusen to win against Kaiserslautern, if Leverkusen manages to get three trophies at once it will Becoming a treble winner this season will of course be something that Xabi Alonso will never forget because he has produced great players and a good team like Leverkusen today.

Liverpool seems to have difficulty winning by four goals at home to Atalanta because they are quite strong and difficult to beat at home, let alone scoring four goals, it seems Liverpool will fail in the European league, including in the EPL title race this season because they suffered defeat by Crystal Palace yesterday, making Manchester City has a chance to win the EPL, Atalanta only needs a draw in the second leg against Liverpool and I am sure they will play defensively when facing Liverpool because they have bagged an aggregate of three goals in the first leg. Most likely Leverkusen will face As Roma in the final.  Grin
What Xabi Alonso has done this season is quite sensational, to achieve the season's treble, I think it is very possible for them.
Now Leverkusen only has to focus on the Europa League and the DFB Pokat final match, making it possible for Leverkusen to be able to produce its best performance in the Europa League this season.

At the start of the season, Leverkusen and Liverpool were quite favorites to win the Europa League this season, but a surprise just happened in the first leg of the quarter-finals, so now only Leverkusen has great potential to win the title and I think with the strength and consistency they have, This is very possible to happen.

Liverpool are currently in a downturn, the end of the season was very bad for them, eliminated from the FA Cup and slowly falling behind by points in the Premier League standings and losing heavily in the first leg of the quarter-finals, so I think there is no hope for this team to recover.

Xabi Alonso made the impossible possible. None of us probably imagined last season that we would see the dominance of a middling team like Leverkusen in the Bundesliga this season. They won the title without losing even a single match. All this has been possible thanks to Alonso's mastermind and the hard work of Leverkusen's players.

After winning the Bundesliga title, Leverkusen now aims for the Europa League title. We thought Liverpool and Leverkusen were the most deserving teams for the Europa League title. But after the 3-0 defeat against Atalanta I don't think Liverpool will qualify for the next round. Now I think Leverkusen or Roma will win the Europa League. I want to see Xabi Alonso win the title.
But Roma team is in very good form now. So there is no chance of underestimating this team. The team is leading by winning the first leg match against Milan. It is expected that the team can qualify for the next round.

It's still remain in the process right now my friend. We can expect leverkusen to be the strongest contender to win europa league this season as long as atalanta will able to sent off liverpool from europa league. Things are going even harder for liverpool to defend its position right now.
It's caused by liverpool is also getting another horrible lose in the EPL that was also decreasing its chance to lead the competition and win the trophy soon. There are only small chances owned by liverpool in all of competitions.

True, but the situation changed so fast. Liverpool lost against atalanta which was almost costing it europa league trophy and recently, it's get fucked by palace with one nil as the final result.
The bad results is obviously impacting the performance from the club. Im not doubting liverpool to leave from the competition soon. Atalanta is ready once again use the parking buss strategy.

I'm having that feeling of De Rossi having a great next season the same way it is currently for Xabi Alonso who within his first six months showed great improvement with the squad he came to meet.
De Rossi steps on similar path like Xabi Alonso last season when Xabi became an alternative coach in Bayer Leverkusen and helped them to go to semi final in Europa League before was beaten by Mourinho and Roma. Now they won Bundesliga and are back to Europa League and fight for another chance to play in semi finals and even aim at winning the title.

Why do you think it is the same as Xabi Alonso career?
I think it is not really the same, there should some differences. However, De Rossi should also have the same chance to success. De Rossi could improve AS Roma performance a bit, it is a good sign although we don't know if it will be better in the future.
Compares their first season for Leverkusen and Roma, it looks very similar but De Rossi will need to improve performances of Roma next season in Serie A and it is not easy to get long unbeaten streak like Xabi and Leverkusen. It is also hard to win Scudetto too but if Xabi can do it with Leverkusen, De Rossi can believe in himself that he can do it with Roma.

Xabi and Leverkusen did not have big changes and improvement in player resource in the summer but they did great job in Bundesliga, it comes from improvements of the coach and available players they have.

In my opinion, Atalanta will play more defensively, they won't expose themselves so much to Liverpool, who will surely make pressure for a quick goal
It's normal not to expose yourself so much, especially playing at home with a good goal advantage
I don't think so. Why Atalanta needs to play more defensive? They are playing at home, they have the advantage on the match. Atalanta should try to dominate the match, it will make Liverpool players be frustrated. So, Atalanta must try to keep attacking like in the previous match, but they must be more careful of Liverpool attackers. Sure, Liverpool will try to get quick goals. However, this even makes they won't focus on the defense line. Atalanta can take the advantage of this situation.

I'm having that feeling of De Rossi having a great next season the same way it is currently for Xabi Alonso who within his first six months showed great improvement with the squad he came to meet.

I believe with xabi Alonso they will still win the Europa League, because I don't see any club that can stop Leverkusen in the Europa League competition this season now, because even Liverpool fuckup in the first leg against Atlanta and still believe they will still win Liverpool against, I don't believe Klopp anymore even in the league, they are still mistakes because I believe they can't win the league this season again now, he will just leave the club without getting trophy they should just try and win the Europa League but he will be very difficult to win the tittle because now Leverkusen are the favorites of winning the trophy. Xabi Alonso has been in excellent form from the beginning of the season he has not lost a single match this season, and I believe they still have another trophy to win before the conclusion of the season. I am only waiting for next season to see how Leverkusen will perform in the Champions League with Xabi Alonso.

It's too much to equate Roma and Leverkusen, I think there is clearly a difference here and I also see that Roma still doesn't have a big percentage to be in the semifinals and meet Leverkusen because even though they won the first leg against Milan, the performance of the Roma team was so bad that Agg 1 It is very possible to catch the goal in the second leg.
The match in the second leg for Roma will definitely be fiercer because Milan will definitely try to win as much as they can even though they are playing at Roma's home ground, because with just one goal in the first leg it certainly won't be safe enough for Roma to qualify for the next round. Unless Roma can really make a big surprise with an extraordinary increase in performance at home when they host AC Milan in the second leg.

Quote
Meanwhile, Leverkusen is currently still quite stable, if there are no big surprises like Atalanta's surprise against Liverpool, then the Leverkusen team can be said to be a team that has quality above the average of other teams.
This season, Leverkusen still has no equal, judging by the fact that they have never lost any match this season. And I don't even hesitate to say that Leverkusen will progress to the next round with an extraordinary aggregate, even though in the second leg West Ham will also try to score a goal to beat Leverkusen. But that is quite a difficult thing for West Ham to do because Leverkusen still has full strength to continue to focus on the Europa League this season in order to reach the final.

Although AS Roma only has 1-0 aggregate but still, at this moment AS Roma has a good ability to be able to qualify for the semifinals. It doesn't matter about the reputation and quality that Milan has because after all, the reality is that AS Roma really has the success of improving its quality with De Rossi. So, if only playing against Milan, I personally still believe AS Roma will still be able to beat Milan and AS Roma will qualify for the semifinals.

But indeed, because if AS Roma qualify for the semifinals then AS Roma will play against Bayer Leverkusen. Obviously, in this season Bayer Leverkusen is a very extraordinary team, so it is certainly difficult for AS Roma to beat Bayer Leverkusen. So yes, if for example Liverpool fall in this quarter-final and then Bayer Leverkusen play against AS Roma in the semi-final. Then yes, with such a scenario it is certain that Bayer Leverkusen will get the Europa League trophy this season and thus, Bayer Leverkusen will successfully get the treble winner this season.
The significant improvement in the Roma team since Daniele De Rossi became the club manager is so visible that everyone can see it including people who never believed in the tactical strength of the young Italian manager when he was newly appointed as the club manager. When the draw for the quarter finals and semi finals of the UEFA Europa League competition was made, I was of the opinion that Roma will be easily beaten and eliminated by AC Milan because in my own view, I thought the quality of players at the Milan club is obviously better than Roma but that wasn't what we saw when AC Milan hosted Roma for the first leg of the quarter final tie. Roma to the surprise of many won the game and in my own assessment, I think they'll still go on to win the tie when AC Milan trave to Diego Armando Maradona stadium in Rome for the second leh of the tie.
On the other quarter final tie involving recently crowned champions of Germany Bayer Leverkusen and West Ham, I think the German side will finish up with their first leg win and seal their place in semi finals of the competition

Everyone of us know that Liverpool is good in coming back in this kind of matches. We have watched Liverpool do it against Barcelona which is a better team than Atlanta and also had a larger goal margin. If I were to be Atlanta coach, I will not play defensive game. I will come out the more and continue the pressure since I have 3 goals advantage and also playing home. I am just making a post, I just wish Atlanta coach can read this. Klopp made a mistake by gifting you the 3 points, please do not return the gift to Liverpool.
Atalanta coach should think the same as you. It is not a wise decision to play defensively since the early of the match in Leg 2, it will be too dangerous for Atalanta. It is true that playing with the same tactic will be better, Atalanta needs to keep their pressure to Liverpool players. So, Liverpool players won't be easy to develop their game and make many shot attempts. Liverpool has great attackers, they will try playing with a more offensive tactic in Leg 2. If I were Atlanta coach, I will take advantage of Liverpool tactic because Liverpool will be too focused on attacking. They may have a mistake in defense line, it is the chance for a counter-attack.

I believe that Jurgen Klopp now have big dilemma between going full force to Atalanta or stay focus on the league title race. This dilemma becomes harder to solve, because their injuries situation makes Klopp doesn't have many options for the lineup if they go full force to Atalanta that can have negative impact on their ambition to win Premier League.
It won't be a big dilemma. He will focus on Atalanta when it is a schedule of UEL match. Liverpool will try to do a come-back in Leg 2, it is a must to focus on the match. Anyway, I don't see a serious problem about injury player. Most of the key players are available now, they have recovered from the injury.

Although AS Roma only has 1-0 aggregate but still, at this moment AS Roma has a good ability to be able to qualify for the semifinals. It doesn't matter about the reputation and quality that Milan has because after all, the reality is that AS Roma really has the success of improving its quality with De Rossi. So, if only playing against Milan, I personally still believe AS Roma will still be able to beat Milan and AS Roma will qualify for the semifinals.

But indeed, because if AS Roma qualify for the semifinals then AS Roma will play against Bayer Leverkusen. Obviously, in this season Bayer Leverkusen is a very extraordinary team, so it is certainly difficult for AS Roma to beat Bayer Leverkusen. So yes, if for example Liverpool fall in this quarter-final and then Bayer Leverkusen play against AS Roma in the semi-final. Then yes, with such a scenario it is certain that Bayer Leverkusen will get the Europa League trophy this season and thus, Bayer Leverkusen will successfully get the treble winner this season.

Bayern Leverkusen crowning a super season, and winning the Bundesliga with a 4-0 game against Werder Bremen, now they can fully focus on the Europa League and also saves some players in the Bundesliga game.

No one can imagine this amazing season for Leverkusen at the start of the season. The europa League can be the cherry on top of a magnificent season for the club.
Xabi Alonso have done a great work on the team, and no one expected such wonderful performance from them this season. They stayed focused and never accepted defeat since the beginning of the season till date, they have being showing how good they are. They deserve to win any trophy that they win at the end of the season. I will give them the Europa cup too.

This is because they have remain consistent in their performance and the worst result for them is a draw. I Der them already in the semifinals of the Europa cup. They are 16 points ahead of Bayern Munich, making the point gap very wide. Winning Werder Bremen 5-0 shows that they are improving more in their performance.
